In Florida, quiet title actions are largely comprised of two areas: Clear to Sell and Tax Title Services. Tax Title services are perhaps the most nuanced and unique of the quiet title services, and are a necessary part of officially claiming ownership of the property you purchase at a tax deed sale. When you purchase property at a tax deed sale, expediency in taking possession and clarifying your ownership of your asset is of primary importance. At Valero Law, we treat your tax deed quiet title action with the same urgency as we would if we had purchased the property ourselves.

Far too often in South Florida, real property ownership becomes contested when forged or fraudulent deeds are procured and recorded. Generally, lawsuits seeking to set aside forged, fraudulent, or otherwise invalid deeds include actions to quiet title. There are perhaps no attorneys better equipped to contest or defend challenges to the validity of deeds as the real estate litigation attorneys in South Florida.

One frustrating occurrence that arises in the process of selling or refinancing your property is the discovery of a “cloud on title”. A “cloud on title” refers generally to any claim, lien, or defect that makes it unclear as to who owns or who has a lien on property. In addition to the clouds on title that arise in the context of fraudulent deed and tax deed cases, there are commonly clouds on title in the form of liens. Be it a mortgage that was paid off but never removed from title, a fraudulent lien placed on your property by one who has no right, or some other form of lien on your property that does not belong, the quiet title action is the mechanism by which you invoke the powers of a court to remove these clouds on title.
